Temperature inversion may cause air pollution problems because air pollutants cannot be dissipated through vertical motion of the atmosphere and are accumulated near the surface. The air quality is worsen gradually if an inversion event lasts for a long time. An inversion event is defined as consecutive temperature profiles with occurrence of the temperature inversion condition. In this paper, temperature inversion events over three major cities on Taiwan are analyzed. They are measured by ground-based microwave radiometers installed in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung from 2002 to 2004 by the Environment Protection Administration (EPA) of Taiwan. Characteristics of temperature inversion events at the three cities are extracted using different classification methods.

To determine nocturnal inversion characteristics at the leeward side of high-rise building, air temperature data were observed at 10 minute interval from February 22, 2010 to April 15, 2010. The observed data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature differences between the roof (XAR) and surface (XAG) of X apartment. The wind speed, wind direction and precipitation data were also observed at XAR and YJL (Yangjae Stream) sites at the same time. After the analysis, the maximum nocturnal inversion was observed by $4.0^{\circ}C$ at 3:40, 3:50, 4:10 on February 24th 2010, at that time the weather condition was clear and weak wind. Air temperature inversions at the leeward side of high-rise building were observed on whole day in wintertime and air temperature inversion intensity was also higher than other nearby area (SMG).

This study presents the characteristics of nocturnal inversion layer and their effect on the concentration variations of surface air pollutants using tethersonde and automatic weather station (AWS, 2 layer tower) system in Ulsan during 2003, The method for the distinction of inversion intensity was decided based on the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. As the results, there was a close correlation (correlation coefficient of 0,76) between the maximum inversion height obtained from tethersonde and the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. The air pollutant concentration was also directly proportional to the inversion intensity. When the inversion intensity was strong in the nighttime, ozone $(O_3)$ concentration was lower, while nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ concentration was higher. The carbon monoxide (CO) concentration was gradually higher according to the nocturnal inversion intensity, whereas sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$ concentration was relatively constant. In addition, we found that there was no correlation between the inversion intensity and TSP concentration.

Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is subject to high levels of atmospheric pollution during winter, which severely threatens the health of the population. By analyzing surface meteorological data, ground-based LIDAR data, and radiosonde data collected from 2008 to 2016, we studied seasonal variations in particulate matter (PM) concentration, visibility, relative humidity, temperature inversion layer thickness, and temperature inversion intensity. PM concentrations started to exceed the 24-h average standard ($50{\mu}g/m^3$) in mid-October and peaked from December to January. Visibility showed a significant negative correlation with PM concentration. Relative humidity was within the range of 60-80% when there were high PM concentrations. Both temperature inversion layer thickness and intensity reached maxima in January and showed similar seasonal variations with respect to PM concentration. The monthly average temperature inversion intensity showed a strong positive correlation with the monthly average $PM_{2.5}$ concentration. Furthermore, the temperature inversion layer thickness exceeded 500 m in midwinter and overlaid the weak mixed layer during daytime. Radiative cooling enhanced by the basin-like terrain led to a stable urban atmosphere, which strengthened particulate air pollution.

In urban area, inversion layer prevents air pollutants from being dispersed. To determine nocturnal inversion characteristics at SookMyung Girls' High School near high-rise residential commercial complex buildings in Seoul, air temperature and humidity data were observed at 10minute interval from December 1st, 2007 to May 2nd, 2008. Temperature-Humidity (T-H) sensors were installed at SMG (SookMyung_Ground) and SMR (SookMyung_Roof), and then these two data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature differences of SMG and SMR. After the analysis, the maximum nocturnal inversion was observed by $3.3^{\circ}C$ at 18:10 on December 26th 2007, at that time the weather condition was clear and weak wind. Nocturnal inversions began 2-3 hours before sunset and it reached maximum inversion just after sunset and continued through nighttime until sunrise or 1-2 hours after sunrise. In terms of seasonal variation nocturnal inversions occurred dominantly in March and April rather than winter season.

Melting process of ice in a rectangular cavity with different temperature walls has been studied experimentally. Front shape of ice and melting rate were affected by initial temperature of ice and variation of temperature distribution and density gradient. When the hot wall temperature was below $8^{\circ}C$, the melting rates were higher at the bottom than those of at the top due to the density inversion, but with increasing the hot wall temperature the melting rates at the top were affected by hot wall and were higher than those of at the bottom. When the initial temperature of ice was low, melting rates were low, but with increasing the time melting rates were almost the same with those of each initial temperature of ice.

Freezing of saturated porous media contained in a rectangular cavity has been studied experimentally. Water and different diameter glass beads consitituted the liquid and porous media. Solidification front shape, the effects of bead diameter and initial liquid temperature was investigated. When the hot wall temperature was below $4^{\circ}C$, the freezing rate was higher at the top than at the bottom due to the density inversion, but with increasing the hot wall temperature the freezing rate at the top was effected by the liquid temperature and was lower than at the bottom. With increasing the bead diameter, the difference of freezing rate between top and bottom was increased and depends on thermal conductivity. When the liquid temperature was low in the beginning, the freezing rate was high, but with increasing the time almost the same with those of high temperature liquid.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the meteorological characteristics of wintertime high PM10 concentration episodes in Busan. $PM_{10}$ concentration has been reduced for the past four years and recorded near or exceeded 100 ${\mu}g/m^3$ (national standard of $PM_{10}$). High concentration episodes in Busan were 6 case, $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ ratio was 0.36~0.39(mean 0.55). High $PM_{10}$ concentration occurred during higher air temperature, more solar radiation and sunshine, lower relative humidity, and smaller cloud amount. Synoptically, it also occurred when Busan was in the center or the edge of anticyclone and when sea breeze intruded. An analysis of upper air sounding showed that high $PM_{10}$ concentration occurred when surface inversion layer and upper subsidence inversion layer existed, and when boundary layer depth and vertical mixing coefficient were low. An analysis of backward trajectory of air mass showed that high $PM_{10}$ concentration was largely affected by long range transport considering that it occurs when air mass is intruded from China.

2001년 9월부터 2002년 6월까지 소규모 집수역 내 고도가 다른 3개 지점(해발 49, 104, 253m)에서 30분 간격으로 기온을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 평균기온은 100m 당 0.2$^{\circ}C$씩 하강하였으며, 이 감율양상은 낮 시간대 지형에 의한 일사 수광량 변이에 의해 증폭되었다. 그러나 감율양상은 일몰시점부터 고도가 높을수록 기온이 더 높아지는 역전양상으로 전환되어 다음 날 일출시점까지 지속되었다. 이에 따라 계곡기저의 일 최저기온이 253m 지점에 비해 더 낮은 날이 연중 67%를 차지하였고 연평균 기온편차는 1.4$^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 맑은 날의 최저기온 역전강도는 겨울보다 봄가을에 더 커지며 대상지역에서 관측된 최대값은 6$^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 흐리고 비온 날의 최저기온은 감율양상이 지속되었으며 봄가을보다 겨울철의 기온감율이 더 컸다.

청명미풍 조건에서 기온역전층 높이와 기온역전강도의 매시 변화를 정량적인 경험식으로 나타내어 야간의 매시 기온을 추정하는 방법을 고안하였다. 2007년 5월부터 2008년 3월까지 강원도 평창군 대관령면 고령지농업연구소에서 초단파 온도 프로파일러 (Model MTP5H)로 지면으로부터 높이 600m까지 50m 간격의 기온 연직 분포를 한 시간 간격으로 측정하였다. 연직기온에서 가장 기온이 높은 고도를 기온역전층 높이로, 역전층의 기온과 지면 위 100m의 기온 편차를 역전강도로 간주하고 야간 동안 시간에 따라 기온 역전층이 발달되는 정도를 모의하는 추정식을 작성하였다. 산사면에서 작물이 실제 경험하는 기온을 추정하기 위해 2014년 10월부터 2015년 11월 23일까지 전남 구례군과 광양시 사이의 중대리 계곡에서 사면의 고도별 기온을 수집하여 연직기온의 역전층 높이 및 역전강도 추정모수를 보정하였다. 지리산 남쪽의 집수역 3개 내에 구축된 검증관측망으로부터 2015년 한 해 동안의 기상자료를 수집하였고, 기상청 방재 및 종관기상관측망으로부터 배경기온을 제작, 기온감률과 함께 기온역전 조건하의 매시 기온을 추정한 다음 검증을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 청명미풍 조건에 대해 19지점 평균 ME $-0.69^{\circ}C$, 평균 RMSE $1.61^{\circ}C$이었고 2000-0100 시간대에서 과소추정오차가 증가되었다. 기존에 사용되어 왔던 최저기온 모형으로 0600 기온을 추정하고 새로운 모의 방법으로 산출된 결과와 추정 오차를 비교한 결과, 평균 ME는 기존 $-0.86^{\circ}C$에서 $-0.12^{\circ}C$로, 평균 RMSE는 $1.72^{\circ}C$에서 $1.34^{\circ}C$로 개선되었다. 청명미풍 조건에서 도출된 기온 추정식의 활용도를 높이기 위해서는 추정 오차를 개선하고 다양한 기상조건에 대한 영향을 반영하는 후속 연구가 필요하다.
